My inspiration for this card came from one of the cards in the new Cricut magazine. What a nice magazine! I haven't subscribed to it yet but I did manage to get the first issue and I really think it is well done.

This card is extra special to me because of the thanksgiving I have for the person it was made for. In addition, I've been looking forward to using a banner in a project since it looks so cute and it is all the rage right now. I'm never "in style" so this is my closest attempt, lol. And it is the first time I machine stitched on paper! It was such a fun card to make using the Imagine.

I also made this card with a few challenges in mind - the Cricut Circle Monthly Challenge (requiring a project with a banner), the Cricut Circle Weekly Challenge (3 of the same cut in a project and use of spray ink) and in the Pink Stamper challenge (make something Springy).

I've put off sewing on paper for lots of reasons but I love the look so I decided to drag out the old sewing machine and give it a try. After a few minutes of figuring out how to thread the machine and put in the bobbin, I was off to sewing. It was great - so easy! So, if you've been putting it off don't wait any longer!!

Thanks for taking a look at my card! I really do appreciate your comments and encouragement!!

Give this away!
